Overview
Aluminum Stearate 30 has strong lubrication characteristics, thickening ability, thermal stability, and water-repellent characteristics. Aluminum Stearate 30, is a tristearate from aluminum salt of distilled hydrogenated fatty acids. This aluminum-metal-soap grade has the lowest aluminum metal content and the highest free fatty acid content for applications such as decorative coatings, solvent-based paints, enamels, varnishes, and lacquers.

Features & Benefits
- Great for protective and decorative coating preservation
- Great for thickening aromatic solvents in inks
- Highly hydrophobic, which allows for transparency and excellent adhesion to metal surfaces
- Good dispersion characteristics
Problems Solved
Friction and processing difficulties in industries where dry- lubrication is preferred
Dispersion issues and poor wetting performance in pigments and coating dispersions
Sag issues, flattening, and brushing defects in paints and coatings
High concentration of free fatty acid in commercially available aluminum stearates
